"This monumental work on aeronautic engineering is of special importance and value at this time because it tells in a simple language, and without difficult formulas, how large aeroplanes can be built for aerial transportation, and, by giving the drawings, diagrams, and photographs of existing and proposed types of aeroplanes and a wealth of engineering data, will assist engineers in building aeroplanes large and small, for aerial transportation and other purposes." This book is part of the World War One Centenary series; creating, collating and reprinting new and old works of poetry, fiction, autobiography and analysis. The series forms a commemorative tribute to mark the passing of one of the world's bloodiest wars, offering new perspectives on this tragic yet fascinating period of human history.
